Possible Character?
Hello,
I am fairly new to STA (still going through the Starter Kit), but my group wants to continue playing once we are done. We are a group of Star Trek Veterans and Star Trek Newbies.
One of my players wants to play a Borg (as in, fully Borg, not Liberated) and at first I got this idea down. I did think about it, though, and think we came up woth a good compromise. I just want to run it past more experienced players.
Basically, their character is a "Borg Queen", one of many backups that were deployed after the Borg Queen died in First Contact. But something went wrong in the assimilation process and the Host retained its emotions and empathy. This lead, over time, to a Queen that was reluctant to assimilate anyone that didnt want it (i.e. everyone) and instead took up medicine as a way to help others. But still "jokes" that they could heal them completely of only they joined their collective.
Eventually they run into Starfleet and show an interest in joining. Starfleet heavily resists (pun intended) this idea, but Section 31 likes this idea and recruits them. This is were they start the story, as a newly formed team for Section 31.
Is this a viable character? What kinds of things am I missing that may complicate things? (The player knows that if they actually assimilate anyone there would be serious ramifications.)
Thank you
